Màrius Sampere
Unsleeping sphere/Lesfera insomne is a modern long poem in the tradition of A. R. Ammons, Allen Ginsberg or John Ashbery, to mention three of his contemporaries.
The original was launched in the fall of 2015, when the poet turned 87, and immediately went through three editions. The poem was unanimously awarded the Gold Letter Prize for the best book of the year.
Unsleeping sphere/Lesfera insomne is undoubtedly Sampere at the height of his powers giving us his explosive and uncompromising view of the human condition in the early and uneasy years of the twenty-first century.
